On the general quadratic Gauss sums weighted by character sums over a short interval

Abstract

By using the analytic methods, the mean value of the general quadratic Gauss sums weighted by the first power mean of character sums over a short interval is investigated. Several sharp asymptotic formulae are obtained, which show that these sums enjoy good distributive properties. Moreover, interesting connections among them are established.

Keywords: quadratic Gauss sums, character sums, mean value
